#insert an invert

[spiderdaynightlive]

It's been a long day.

You're exhausted.

And while your eyes are usually incredibly sharp, for this ability, your ancestors traded away every. last. scrap. of night vision.

Nevertheless, the dark is full of predators. So, on the underside of a leaf, a Lyssomanes jumping spider mom remains awake, vigilantly listening and feeling for any threats to her spiderlings.

(this is part of @franzanth's Insert An Invert project, meant to get y'all curious about bugs and other Invertebrates, so you try including em in your art. February's theme is "Relationships")
